VeganRibs Gets Inked!

Aloha Vegans

So I have wanted a tattoo for ages and I had no idea what to get, then i thought..something Vegan. Its my passion, my life and I want to always share my pride in being vegan so I went for a little Vegan 'V' on my foot. Somewhere hidden, and something I will look at every so often and smile. Some might not know that some tattoo Ink is not vegan, it usually contains animal glycerin and burnt animal bones to give it the pigment. I made sure I did some research and contacted a local studio called Diamonds and Dusters in the Byram Arcade in Huddersfield.They were amazing and researched all their inks for me and they themselve were shocked to find that they are infact using vegan friendly inks already..how wonderful! Scott Laidlaw who did my tattoo was the nicest and did a lovely job helping me choose the size and where to put it, he also helped me overcome my nerves.It only took 5 mins and I was shocked at how much i enjoyed the experience, it really didn't hurt! I am already planning to get the cruelty free BUAV bunny on my other foot!So heres some pics of the experience!

The screenshots the tattoo artist sent me confirming the Vegan status of his inks!
